The idea is:
Finally turn off n8n attributions globally by default 
:
Many nodes which send messages (Email, Gmail, Slack, Telegram, …), append something like This email was sent automatically with n8n by default.
Usually there is a (hidden) option to turn of the attribution manually and seperately for each node.
That this attribution is turned on by default AND not deactivatable globally is a mere torture for everyone who develops automations on a regular basis.
I suggest two options for solutions:
1. favorite⭐: remove the option to append n8n attribution from all nodes AND turn it off globally
2. at least❗: turn off n8n attributions globally by default (and maybe add a way to turn it on for the three people who have some good reason)
My use case:
- doing anything with n8n that includes sending messages
- using n8n without feeling like being caught in a rat race
- using n8n without feeling tortured
- using n8n without having to watch out that no attribution gets send
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
- I simply don’t see any reason to keep this
- it will save a ton of time for everyone - especially the power users
- it will improve the reputation of n8n (as not being greedy for clicks and marketing hacks)
- it will save n8n from losing users who switch to make or zapier (because it’s too annoying for them to turn off the attributions everywhere all the time)
- make n8n users not feel tricked (see community posts below)
- save @jan some time when he doesn’t have to comment below all the peoples’ community posts looking for a solution, that there’s actually a hidden option to turn off the attribution.
Any resources to support this?
In only 2 quick Google searches, in which I expected to find a solution to turn off the attribution globally, I found a ton of posts from other people looking for the same (or at least looking for a way to turn off the (hidden) attribution option in some module):
- Environment Variable to default remove "Append n8n Attribution"? - #2 by n8n ← here @ria already mentioned that this has been discussed internally + feature request got 5 upvotes (looks like feature requests get closed after 90 days btw, which doesn’t make sense from my point of view either)
